A PEEK INSIDE

Breakin' the Rulez and Rulin' Breakz

I am a big fan of therapy. Huge. I love it. I think there's something amazing about having someone that's not in the thick of the stuff to sort through it all with. I've been seeing my current therapist for a few years now and I love her. Recently, I've been joking about being selectively nihilistic. Meaning: I want to care less and do my own thing without worrying about the rules or what is expected of me. A lofty, comical goal. We laughed about it because I generally have a hard time breaking the rules and have a very deeply set moral compass that makes it very difficult. For my Enneagram peeps: I'm a Type 1...

The background is from the stiff baby blankets they wrapped Mr. Baby in that also likely held so many other babies and had been sanitized to be itchy, scratchy welcomes into this world. This is all on top of some gestural sketches of Mr. Baby.

Hello friends!
In 2024 I planned to make more blog posts and be more active in my personal practice. I suppose part of that became a reality in a way! Shortly after my last post, I was greeted with the most exciting news: I was pregnant! 9 long months with the biggest belly and most heartburn ever, I welcomed my little dude whom shall forever be Mr. Baby to the public. We share a birthday and a face (he looks shockingly exactly like little me) and now we also share every meal and nap. Needless to say, I spent 2025 very pregnant and then very tired from labor and raising Mr. Baby. We're almost at a year now and I cannot be happier (or sleepier).
